Selecting Your Own Summary

There are two options for selecting your own summary.

Option 1


To select your own summary edit the Article you want to change and find the text that you want to include in your summary.

Put your cursor in the body text where you want the break to be and then click the Summary Break Icon icon.

The text that is above the break is the summary and the text bellow the break is the main body content. It will split the text into two paragraphs.
